We might all be very surprised.  The IMF has secret arrangements with Kuwait and we don't know what their basket of currencies consist of - so, there may be other arrangements with Iraq - it was something to see how fast the GOI came together and passed the budget.  I think something is in the works - keep praying -

lobo, at this point on Iraq, NUTHJN< IMEAN NUTHIN would surprise me 

maybe an RV would excite me 

NO rv this year. Im pretty sure of that
